Tsunoda got announced into AT, so Kvyat is out.

That doesn�t sound nearly so impressive when you realise it was only one driver who did those 4, and then proceeded to get comprehensively pantsed by the new guy (ARE DAN) immediately after.

who proceeded to get pantsed by a "frogboy"

The only season frogboy beat dan was when Dan�s car mysteriously became the parts bin special and he dnfked like 9 times

Counting all 2018 races were they both finished, Max outscored Dan 8 times (Spain, Canada, France, Singapore, Russia, Japan, Brazil, Abu D.) vs. 3 (Australia, China, Monaco). You could give Silverstone to Ric since Max retired late into the race and technically came 15th, but whatever.

i guess that�s what happens when you get the crappy car eh

yeah, cause f1 teams WANT their drivers who they pay millions for to perform suboptimally.

Max's only wins came when ric dnf, while every Dan win was when max finished. Sounds like Max can only win when his team mate is either dnf due to rbr being poo poo (Dan) or when rbr fail to get the best out the other driver (albon, gas). I.e. a fraud

if you only look at #1 spots, then yes both max victories happened in a race where ricc was out. and one of them HAM was also out. Doesn't mean much. Across all races they both finished, on average Max brought home more points.

Albon exit. He seems like a nice lad but yeah, did not perform up to standard. Curious to see how Checo fares next to Max

Max�s car failed a total of.... 2 times in the whole season, not including the puncture at Imola. The rest of the dnfs were because he ~~binned it~~ had an accident like the failson he is

ah yeah, he definitely caused that collision in tuscany

I hope Checo gets better results than Max and Seb.

I'm willing to bet Checo will not outscore nor outqualify Max. As long as he drives better than Albon and Gasly did then RB might stand a chance.

I felt sorta sorry for Haas before doing the best they can with a potty mouth team lead who means well and two mediocre but friendly drivers in a subpar car but geesh this whole Meatzipan thing is bad PR.

I think getting Ricciardo was a great move, but then he did nothing to keep him and replaced him with an old man they are going to get 2 seasons from at most.

Yeah if Alsonso manages any podiums/top 7 wdc placement during his alpine stint I�ll eat my proverbial shoe

I�ll keep an eye out on deals on that. I missed about 5 years of PlayStation content so have enough to keep myself occupied for now before I dive into the sim racing rabbit hole.

Just look at Baku, it went from a laughing stock to a fan favourite in a couple years and its a Tilke circuit. but I think its also the most anti Tilke circuit he's ever made. It has a distinct visual identity (you know Baku straight away from 90% of the shots of it), there's some huge punishment for mistakes on parts of the lap and the long straight basically fucks with tire temps putting more a variable into play.

i'm just playing through some circuits on f1 2020 and jfc baku is hardcore. walls everywhere so you can't make any mistakes on most stretches. corners tight as hell. mad respect for the drivers getting through that without touching walls etc, esp. this last section where you think you can go fast but just going a littttttle wide in one corner had me banging the wall, happened basically 9/10 laps.

what makes a fun circuit to me is plenty spaces to overtake (e.g. monaco is just too narrow) and all of the types of corners. taking risk and going a little wide should be punished but not race-ending.
